- Add notes and get AI summaries.
- Run catch-ups with AI and refresh your plans.
- Attach files to where you’re working, and find them again in the Vault.

Tackling personal goals has always been a challenge for me, be it because of fear of getting stuck, or not being able to juggle more tasks than I can fit into my life.
We're talking goals in real life, not only digital life. My goals include jobs around the house and garden, learning, fitness and life admin.
AI can help figure things out and choose what to focus on next. But we don't want AI to drive our lives either. AI tools I've used are either AI agents replacing our UI, or AI chat on top of an existing UI. To help with my goals, I wanted true human-AI collaboration.
What could human-AI collaboration look like? AI and Human both create tasks and curate plans. Human logs updates, AI saves insights and progress. Human needs help on a task, AI gives actionable input.
In Task Matter, AI always knows the details of what's up. Every conversation happens within the plan item I selected, and the AI context and tool box are built dynamically from the plan item and what I want to do.
Using Task Matter daily has been a joy. My mental blocks for big goals have been replaced with a new eagerness to do the work. I hope Task Matter can help others feel that way too.

Frequently asked questions
What happens to my personal data?
Your plan, notes, and AI threads are stored in your browser first, so Task Matter can load quickly and keep working offline. They are also synced to Task Matter’s servers so you can recover your work and use it across devices.
When you use AI, the request and the relevant Task or Matter context are sent to the selected AI provider. Task Matter does not send your whole account with every question.
You can download both your current data and its change log directly from Settings in RDF N-Quads format.
Task Matter is not end-to-end encrypted today. During the beta, you can request deletion of your account and its server-side data by emailing hello@taskmatter.ie with the subject “DELETE”. Read the privacy notice for more detail.
Will AI get in the way when I just want to manage tasks?
No. You can manage your tasks without using AI. Task Matter keeps AI inside the workspace panel called Matter. The same input can add a note or prompt AI, so help is available when you want it without interrupting ordinary task management.
In my daily use, that input has been close to a 50/50 split between notes and attachments and questions for AI. Matter remains useful as a workspace even when you do not use AI.
Is Task Matter free? What will it cost?
Task Matter is free during beta. At general availability, there will be a fee, with the aim of keeping it reasonable relative to comparable productivity products. Hosting and LLM integration have ongoing costs.
Who is building Task Matter? Was AI involved?
I’m Matthieu Scholler, and I’m building Task Matter drawing on 20 years of experience building software. I shaped its architecture, user experience, and feature ideas. AI helped write the code, while the product decisions and the work of turning them into a coherent experience have been human-led.
Where can I get support, report a bug, or request a feature?
For support or to report a bug, join the Task Matter Discord. To request a feature or follow existing requests, use the Task Matter Featurebase board. Both links are available in the banner at the top of Task Matter.
Is there a calendar?
No. Task Matter currently has Focus, where tasks can be Current or Scheduled, but Scheduled is an ordered queue rather than a date or time on a calendar. Use your calendar for appointments and time-specific commitments, and Task Matter for the work, context, and next actions around them.
What is the Vault for?
The Vault is the document home for material connected to your work. It brings files, links, and notes together, shows what each item is attached to, and lets you search, filter, preview, download, or ask AI about it.
“Vault” describes an organised place for supporting material. It is not a password manager or an encrypted store for secrets.
Why not use a general AI assistant like OpenClaw or Hermes?
A general assistant that can act across many apps solves a different problem. Task Matter starts with a visible, persistent plan. Its AI works within the goal, task, action item, or document you are looking at, and the useful result stays connected to that work.
The aim is focused help with a structure you can inspect and return to, rather than giving a broad assistant open-ended responsibility for your digital life.
Why not use AI chat plus an integration with a to-do app?
An integration can be a useful way to connect tools you already use. Depending on the integration, though, important constraints, decisions, and results can remain in chat history rather than staying connected to the tasks they inform.
In Task Matter, the plan and its working context share one model. AI can reason from the relevant Matter, make structured changes to the plan, and leave the conversation beside the task that prompted it.
Why not use Obsidian with plugins?
Obsidian is excellent for local notes and a highly customisable knowledge base. You can build a capable task and AI system with plugins, templates, and your own conventions.
Task Matter is for people who want that relationship already designed: goals, tasks, next actions, Focus, supporting material, and scoped AI all follow the same structure without assembling or maintaining a plugin setup.
Why not use Notion with extensions?
Notion is a flexible workspace for pages, databases, and team processes. That flexibility is useful when you want to design your own system.
Task Matter is focused on personal goals. Every task has a place for notes, decisions, supporting material, and AI conversations. What you learn can shape the plan without building databases or connecting extensions first.
